The College

The College was established in 1941, as Veterinary School, Vom, with a total of ten students. Some of these students registered for Veterinary Assistants (Junior Course), Veterinary Assistants (Senior Course) and others as Veterinary Officers.
The School has the credit of being the first Higher Institution in West Africa to produce graduate Veterinary Surgeons long before the first University was established in Nigeria, at Ibadan in 1948.

The school also played a key role, especially between 1947 and 1962, in training middle level veterinary manpower for other African Countries, notably the Cameroons, Liberia, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Ethiopia and Sudan.
On establishment of University College at Ibadan, it was recommended that the higher training to the Veterinary Officers’ level be consigned to the University. Consequently, the Veterinary School, Vom, discontinued the Veterinary Officers’ course in June, 1950, and thereafter concentrated entirely on running only one course, namely a 2 year Veterinary Assistants’ Course.
